Description:

According to the mailing lists this seems to be a bug that is though to be
fixed...

I got this error once during manual vacuum while evaluating deletion of old
toasted value by replacing them with a short text.

For this, I have alternated bunch insertions of large values with updates of
older one:

UPDATE mytable set msg='deleted'
FROM (
SELECT id
FROM mytable
WHERE t < now() - interval '10d'
AND msg <> 'deleted'
LIMIT 1000
)todel
WHERE mytable.id=todel.id

after a while I got the error during a vacuum full:

vacuum (full, analyze ,verbose)mytable
ERROR: missing chunk number 0 for toast value 442005 in pg_toast_397983
SQL state: XX000

as suggested here I could fix it with an analyze of that table:
/messages/by-id/CAL7VFcJYBiVLjAiXqwdAWw9noeef2tM0bj-=w_2um6b6RacA6Q@mail.gmail.com

I couldn't reproduce it though.

best regards,
Marc Mamin
